Carmen, 41, says she has personally witnessed Simon stand up for and support the people he truly believes in on Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor, and she knows that his loyalty will make him a fantastic father.

“The impact that he has with The X Factor, it really shows who Simon is and it shows that he really cares about the kids on the show — he takes care of them,” Carmen told HollywoodLife.com at the VH1 Do Something Awards in Hollywood on July 31. “So I obviously think that his child will be very well taken care of and very, very loved.”

How sweet! Carmen said she was really surprised — and also very curious — when news broke that Simon will be welcoming a baby with New York City socialite Lauren Silverman, his friend Andrew Silverman‘s separated wife.

“I have to call him after this when I get in the car,” Carmen exclaimed. “I want to know if it is a boy or girl!”

“It’s so awesome — I am happy for him,” she added. “He is lovely!”
